Hiya -
just hoping someone might be able to point me down the right path here;
I have recently finished a job for a press cutting some carpet like material.
One of the modifications that has come up is stopping the cutting head accurately so that it cuts through the product, but not into the thin rubber conveyor belt below. Must stop within 0.2mm ish I guess.
Recipe system so lots of different cutting depths are required.
Currently the depth of cut is indexed with a few shims and operator input...
I have considered
LVDT --
draw wire encoder
linear encoder
I'm leaning toward a draw wire encoder -
Has anyone done something similar before, any pointers?
Kind Regards
UKB.
